The title says it all, I'm looking to start my own seed bank, not commercial, but when I have a strain that I like, I would like to put it in my own "personal" seed bank. Just the great strains that I liked. What would be the best way to save seeds long term?

I wish I could give you a definitive year range but I think as long as you keep them in a dry spot that doesnt have a whole lot of fluctuating temps you'll be fine.
Keep them cool, dark, and dry, and they can last for years. A good method is to put them into an old 35mm film canister with some uncooked rice (to absorb moisture), then put that in the back of a closet or in the refrigerator.
yep i prefer to keep mine in my vegetable drawer.....or fruit drawer.......whichever one has less humidity, i forget -OSUB
They will only keep for a week, after that you might as well ship them to me. I am licensed to properly dispose of them. (8
